Republicans seeking office this November already had polls at their back, putting them in lead of many, if not most, of their Democrat contenders. But the FBI's highly suspect raid on Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago home has handed Republicans a golden egg.
There is a terrible trend spreading across the U.S., modeled recently by a young woman from Baltimore County, Maryland, who is accused of shooting a firefighter in the face with a BB gun (and trying to run over another firefighter).
"Justice Department moves to unseal Trump search warrant; Garland personally approved search" (Web, Aug. 11) stands in sharp contrast to the FBI's allowing Hillary Clinton to bleach and destroy electronic devices. Furthermore, the FBI allowed Mrs. Clinton to have her lawyers delete 33,000 emails from her private unsecured server, a move that resulted in the deletion of at least five classified and 147 work-related emails later recovered from other sources.
Recently Baltimore sued "ghost gun" kit maker Polymer80 for selling to private citizens. In a constitutional republic, only those privileges specifically allowed to public servants can be performed, while all else is absolutely denied.
So what happened to Sam Mills III? He left for Canton last week to attend his late father's posthumous induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the Washington Commanders defensive line coach and returned to Ashburn to find out he was fired.
Merrick Garland on TV took responsibility for giving the approval that unleashed the FBI search dogs at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago address -- then went on to insist that his federal search dogs are tops in professionalism and the American people should not worry about that.
Democrats are so desperate to prevent former President Donald Trump from running for reelection in 2024 that they are willing to use literally any means available to them -- including the Justice Department -- to prevent it ("Raid at Mar-a-Lago spurs suspicions about a mole in Trumpworld," Web, Aug. 11). In the meantime, criminal wrongdoing by Hunter and Joe Biden and Hillary and Bill Clinton go uninvestigated and unprosecuted.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams' complaint against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing migrants here is misplaced ("Texas starts busing illegal immigrants directly to New York," Web, Aug. 5). Mr. Adams' beef should be with President Biden for allowing these immigrants to come to the U.S. in the first place.
I consider former President Donald Trump a danger to American democracy, but the more proximate danger is a federal law-enforcement edifice run amok ("America's dark age of guilty until proven innocent," Web, Aug 11).
